Daily Pilots Post

There was going to be a quiz today, but life took over my preparations for it, so we'll have that on Friday instead.

For today, your prompt (to be interpreted as literally or liberally as you like) is:

misfits

As before, feel free to come up with anything as a response - an icon, a drabble, an acrostic...And if it turns out not to fit the prompt, just post it anyway - I'm not keeping score, or anything. :)

Secondly, I have a feeling this has been done before, so I apologise if I'm repeating anything, but what do you think would have happened to Kara and Lee if the Cylon attack hadn't come when it did? Chance brought them together on Galactica, but without the attack, Lee, at least, would have been on his way afterward - no reconciliation with his father, and just a few joky encounters with Kara, his dead brother's fiancee.

...or would it have happened like that? Maybe they'd have got drunk together after the presentation (in the brig? :P), maybe confessed a few feelings...and maybe then still gone their separate ways, because life goes on, right? No need to admit you have feelings for someone you shouldn't unless the world's about to end.

How do you think their lives might have intersected? How about if the Cylon attack had come a year later, by which time they were in an established relationship? How would that have affected the way they fought? Would they have been more careful? Less? Would we have been so invested in their relationship without all that unresolved sexual tension?

Discuss. :)

I do not know this Huntress, but she is awesome, even wearing Disney cartoons! (Unsurprisingly, if you're crossing her with Kara.)

I love that moment of vulnerability when they share their real names. :)

So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, in the comics Huntress is on the side of good but a little too violent and reckless for Batman's tastes -- he thinks she needs to be stopped, while Nightwing thinks she just needs to be listened to. One of the key points between Nightwing and Huntress in the comics is their decision to tell each other their real names.

I think that's how it goes, anyway :) I must admit I don't read the actual comics, so I pick up all this through fanfiction. It was just fun to play with ~ maybe someday I'll get around to writing a real story about this with Bill as Batman and Tigh as Alfred :)

Ahahaa! But who would Laura be?

Laura is Commissioner Gordon, definitely :)
